About the Artist
Behind Kryvolap is Kateryna Kryvolap, a Ukrainian-Canadian artist, designer, and educator, and a member of the Federation of Canadian Artists.
Her paintings are inspired by Petrykivka, a UNESCO-recognized art form with over three centuries of history, and have been exhibited internationally across North America, Europe, and Asia, including exhibitions in New York, Paris, and Seoul. Her work is held in private collections worldwide.
As a designer, Kateryna carries her artistic language beyond the canvas, translating her original paintings into silk scarves and reimagining their distinctive motifs in jewelry. Her growing wearable art collection recently reached the runway at Ukrainian New York Fashion Week, bringing her work into a new creative setting.
Teaching remains an essential part of her practice. Through Kryvolap Academy, she has shared her knowledge with more than 4,000 students in over 60 countries, helping them build their painting skills, develop confidence, and find their own artistic voice.
Across her art, design, and teaching, her purpose remains the same: to keep Petrykivka a living, evolving tradition, connecting its heritage with contemporary life and passing its possibilities on to others.
